Speaking of companions alignments, I do have a question for those of you who intend to play an origin character. If you like Larian's concept of origin PCs and want to play as one of the origins, but you also are someone who wants very strongly to play a good-oriented PC, exactly what is your choice for an origin character to play? I don't see how anyone who wants to play a truly good character has that option among the five origins. Two of them are evil, one at least starts out as evil but perhaps can become neutral later on, and the other two are neutral. What is the truly good-aligned choice among the origins for someone who wants to play only a truly good PC?
I don't in the slightest agree with your estimation of alignments, especially in regards to the origin characters, of whom we've only seen snapshots from early access.
I will be playing an origin character. In fact, I'll be playing all of them eventually. Whether they are good or bad will be determined by what I make of them. I suspect the game will accommodate that just fine.
My first run will almost certainly be more of a traditional good path, and right now I'm leaning toward Gale or Astarion.
And that is quite fine. We've been through this discussion a lot previously. You are someone who sees everyone as gray. Fair enough. We can only agree to disagree and move on.
My question was aimed specifically at those who, like me, consider such characters as giths, Sharrans, and vampires to be evil, and making a pact with a devil and trying to usurp a god's power to be at least morally highly questionable if not evil (at least at their starting points in the game with no consideration for how they may subsequently change). For those people here, if they're inclined to play an origin even while also wanting to play a truly good PC, what is their origin of choice (and why)? That is my question.
